El Mito de Zaragoza Cupreata

Every legend has a beginning, and for El Mito de Zaragoza, it starts with a story that bends time itself. The myth speaks of Don Paulino Zaragoza, a mezcalero who, in 1977, stepped through a portal and shared his craft with another world. This mezcal honors that legend, bringing a piece of the myth to your glass.

El Mito de Zaragoza Cupreata is brought to life by maestro mezcalero Don Rey D. Castro in the community of Axaxacualco, Guerrero. The wild Cupreata agaves are cooked traditionally in an underground pit oven, giving them a deep, smoky foundation. After being crushed, they ferment naturally in open-air wooden vats before being double-distilled in classic copper stills. The result is a mezcal that captures the rugged spirit of Guerrero and the magic of its namesake myth.
